Scram News advertises itself as “writing news and running campaigns to change the status quo. Celebrating diversity, exposing austerity, and tackling global problems. Press for change.”
Yeah, in other words, it’s just another far-Left organ. And here they do what Leftists and Islamic supremacists do frequently: present a perfectly true statement as if it were self-evidently false and egregious, without explaining why, and expecting the speaker to be punished in some way for having said it. And Britain is so insane these days that it wouldn’t be at all surprising if Johnson had to resign over this.
But what are these Qur’an passages about those who do not believe in Islam, if not incitement to religious hatred?
“Say, ‘O People of the Book, do you resent us except that we have believed in Allah and what was revealed to us and what was revealed before and because most of you are defiantly disobedient?’ Say, ‘Shall I inform you of worse than that as penalty from Allah ? Those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of Taghut. Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.” (Qur’an 5:59-60)
“You will surely find the most intense of the people in animosity toward the believers to be the Jews and those who associate others with Allah…” (Qur’an 5:82)
“And even if We had sent down to them the angels and the dead spoke to them and We gathered together every thing in front of them, they would not believe unless Allah should will. But most of them are ignorant.” (Qur’an 6:111)
“And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs.” (Qur’an 7:176)
“And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.” (Qur’an 7:179)
“Indeed, the worst of living creatures in the sight of Allah are those who have disbelieved, and they will not believe.” (Qur’an 8:55)
“O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be ruthless upon them. And their refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.” (Qur’an 9:73)
“Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to with incitement?” (Qur’an 19:83)
“If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is disease and those who spread rumors in al-Madinah do not cease, We will surely incite you against them; then they will not remain your neighbors therein except for a little. Accursed wherever they are found, seized and massacred completely.” (Qur’an 33:60-61)
“But if they turn away, then say, ‘I have warned you of a thunderbolt like the thunderbolt that struck ‘Aad and Thamud when the messengers had come to them before them and after them, “Worship not except Allah.” They said, “If our Lord had willed, He would have sent down the angels, so indeed we, in that with which you have been sent, are disbelievers.”‘ As for ‘Aad, they were arrogant upon the earth without right and said, ‘Who is greater than us in strength?’ Did they not consider that Allah who created them was greater than them in strength? But they were rejecting Our signs. So We sent upon them a screaming wind during days of misfortune to make them taste the punishment of disgrace in the worldly life; but the punishment of the Hereafter is more disgracing, and they will not be helped. And as for Thamud, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance, so the thunderbolt of humiliating punishment seized them for what they used to earn.” (Qur’an 41:13-17)
“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are ruthless against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.” (Qur’an 48:29)
“Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most vile of created beings.” (Qur’an 98:6)
“Revealed: Boris Johnson once suggested Quran incites ‘religious hatred,’” by Kate Plummer, Scram News, December 2, 2019:
Boris Johnson once suggest that the Quran incites religious hatred, Scram News can reveal.
Writing in the Telegraph in 2005, the now Prime Minister criticised a proposal to ban incitement to religious hatred, and implied that Islam’s religious text itself incites hatred.
He said:
“The proposed ban on incitement to ‘religious hatred’ makes no sense unless it involves a ban on the Koran itself; and that would be pretty absurd, when you consider that the Bill’s intention is to fight Islamophobia.”
It is not the first time he has taken issue with the Quran. In a 2007 Spectator column Johnson argued that Islam has caused the Muslim world to be “literally centuries behind” the West and said that Islamophobia is a “natural reaction” to Islam.
He added: “Judged purely on its scripture – to say nothing of what is preached in the mosques – it is the most viciously sectarian of all religions in its heartlessness towards unbelievers.”…
